Super delicious Indonesian/singaporean/malaysian food. It's a cute little mom and pop shop and the service was super quick! The portions weren't too big so we were able to share a bunch of dishes among the whole table. Chicken satay - 5/5 Super moist and the sauce it came with had a rlly nice sweet and salty flavor Roti - 5/5 The roti was really flaky and soft and paired really well with the curry sauce Beef rendang- 4/5 A bit on the spicy side and the beef was a bit dry, but overall still delicious. I do wish it came w a little more meat tho Singapore laksa - 4/5 LOVED the coconut flavor of the laksa. The noodles were slightly overcooked tho and again, I wish it came w more protein Borneo style rice noodles - 4/5 Tastes exactly like what you expect -- sweet, salty, w added freshness from the bean sprouts and vegetables Overall, would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. I could def see this becoming a staple restaurant for me if I lived in the 626 read more

Borneo Eatery - Borneo style rice noodles, Singapore laksa, Roti Prata, Chicken Satay, Nasi Lemak (Beef Rendang) - Indonesian Near Me - Alhambra, California

As a born and semi-bred Malaysian, Borneo Eatery is a solid pick for those looking to try or revisit borneo-cuisine. Came in early on a Friday and was greeted with friendly service. Ordering was quick and we were checked in on a handful of times. The staff were attentive and smiley. I got the Nasi Lemak as that was a personal favourite of mine growing up. It didn't exactly hit the spot but it definitely surprised me in a good way. The chopped up chicken allowed for a crispier exterior but also meant less juicy meat. Cabbage as a side was new to me, but was fresh and creamy. Solid sambal, though I'd personally like it a touch hotter. Overall a different take that works and makes it a wonderful, easy to eat rice dish. Chicken satay was great! Nutty sauce with a crispy garnish. It's missing the smoky flavour but the meat was cooked very well. A casual, family-friendly, hole-in-the-wall restaurant that lives up to it's name. read more

This is an old favorite for Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian food. Been coming here for over 10 years now. The Laksa here is also very good if you like soup noodles. We almost always get the Roti, Chicken Satay and the Nasi Camprur. Service can be a hit or miss depending on how busy the restaurant gets. Some of the servers do have an accent so sometimes might be difficult for some understand but overall they are nice. Great casual family restaurant. read more

Plenty of well lit seating inside, Very attentive staff, I was greeted immediately entering the restaurant. I asked for takeout and was handed a menu. Right when I set down the menu someone came up to take my order. The flavor isn't strong, almost bland. The best way for me to explain it is if you took yesterday's leftovers and threw it all together. Hokkien mie- Taste like chicken broth with a instant ramen packet Topped with tea egg, yesterdays chassiu, and some butter chicken. Overall the service is good, response time good, cleanliness good. read more

The food was delicious! It was my first time going here, so we tried a little of everything. My favorite was definitely the chicken satay, it was so flavorful and came with 5 skewers, which I thought was pretty good for the price. My other favorite was the hokkien mie, the noodles were a nice texture and I really liked the chicken in them The borneo style fried rice and nasi campur plate were also yummy! Loved the char siu The roti was good, but I do not think the portion was good considering the price ($9.50 for 2) The service was ok, we did sit there for awhile before someone came over & we could ask for the check. Also, parking is kind of hard, you either can do street or there is a lot near the restaurant we parked at. Overall, it was yummy and I would go again! read more

It was my first time here and I was amazed by the food and friendly staff! Ordered: 1) Roti Prata: loved the texture of the roti and the curry-like sauce on the side 2) Singapore Laksa: felt so comforting! Never had Laksa before so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I loved how much ingredients they pack into a single bowl! All of this with noodles in a sweet and savory curry broth :) 3) Chicken satay Rice Combo: IMO, this was the highlight of the meal! The chicken was super juicy and the satay sauce was so delicious and you have to pair this with some coconut rice! Amazing combo! Would definitely come back just for this! read more

Always passed by here and see there is usually a lot of people dining here. So I was curious to try it! We ordered the Laksa with egg noodle, Borneo Rice, Satay Plate with curry rice, and a small size Roti. The Laksa noodle came out first, which the portion was a lot smaller than expected. The flavor was pretty nice, but the broth was not as thick as I imagined. Then the Satay Plate came next, which I actually enjoyed the most! The chicken on the satay was soft and flavorful, very easy to eat off the skewer. The curry rice with it was quite interesting, which I liked how the curry flavor was kind of subtle to it. The fried onions were a nice touch. Then came the borneo rice, which looked really dark from soy sauce maybe? It was pretty decent, although kinda salty. My bf enjoyed it though cause that's his type of fried rice haha. We ended up getting a roti last, which they brought it to us fresh. This was so soft and hot, it tore apart quite perfectly. It's not too airy, but just quite soft and the right amount of chewiness to it. Overall, it was nice to finally try this place! Service was a bit slow, but they were all very friendly. read more

I hadn't been to Borneo since they expanded the restaurant. Today my Indonesian friend came down from the Bay Area, and we wanted Indonesian food, so we came here. We parked at a nearby city lot, and there was no wait on a Friday night. The expanded space feels much more spacious, and the colorful doors on the wall make the interior feel lively. Since it's Friday during Lent, we were looking for vegetarian options. The staff told us we could substitute tofu for any protein, which was great. We ordered roti, chicken satay, kwe tiau siram, Indo-style fried rice, and cendol. Everything was delicious, and we were happy with all the dishes. Solid spot for Indonesian, Malaysian, or Singaporean food in the Alhambra are read more

We walked in around 7:30PM on a Wednesday night. Not a lot of people. We got greeted immediately and then seated. Food came out quick after we ordered. It was very delicious. I also placed a togo order for the next morning. Togo order for 13 people and they were able to accommodate me! I paid the night before and they called the next morning, 30 mins before their opening time, to confirm that I am picking up the food. It was great experience! Just one tad opinion that laksa noodles for togo portion was small..... read more

Borneo Eatery - Borneo Flat Noodles - Indonesian Near Me - Alhambra, California

My very first time trying Indonesian/Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine, and I am a huge fan! This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall place, which confirmed to me that the dishes were authentic. The interior is so cute and colorful that it made the dining experience all the more fun and appetizing. We ordered a Large Roti Prata (2 grilled flour based pancake/bread) that is served with their Indonesian curry sauce. The soft/chewy Roti Prata dipped in the curry sauce was phenomenal! I absolutely loved everything about this appetizer. For the main, we ordered Lemak, which is a coconut grant rice plate served with friend chicken, fried tofu, curry egg, and spicy peanut anchovy. Interestingly, the star of this dish was the peanut anchovy and curry egg. We also ordered the famous Singapore Laksa that comes with a choice of egg noodles, vermicelli, or flat rice noodles. This noodle soup is a creamy coconut milk-based curry with shrimp, fish cake, fried tofu, marinated egg, sweet corn, and bean sprouts. I would definitely order this again! It seems like a lot of people get the Chicken Satay so I definitely want to come back to try that and get some of the other menus that I've tried previously again. read more

Let's start with parking. You'll want to park behind the building in the parking structure. During primetime it can get a little hectic, but our tip is to just head straight to the top floor if it's around 7 PM. That usually saves you time circling around. The restaurant itself is small but cozy. It's not one of those places with flashy décor or a "wow" factor, but it definitely gives off a more intimate Malaysian vibe, which we enjoyed. This was our second visit, and compared to the first time there were fewer people. We arrived around 7 PM and were seated immediately, which was great. Here's what we ordered: Gado Gado - $13 Rating: 7.9/10 A mix of lettuce, bean sprouts, cabbage, cucumber, egg, and tofu dressed in their homemade peanut sauce. It's a great option for vegetarians. The peanut sauce was rich, creamy, and flavorful. Definitely a tasty appetizer and worth trying. Roti Prata (Small) - $4.99 (Large with two pieces - $9.50) Rating: 6/10 To be honest, it felt a bit pricey for one small piece. I also remember it being thicker and fluffier the first time we had it. This time it was more thin and flaky. The curry dip was still nice, but it tasted a little watered down compared to our last visit. Nasi Rendang - $16 Rating: 7.8/10 This dish reminded me of the Indonesian banana leaf dish Nasi Bungkus. It comes with beef rendang, fried tofu, curry egg, and spicy peanut anchovy over steamed rice covered in curry sauce. I liked that the rice had sauce on top, the egg had great texture, and the beef was soft and flavorful. Singapore Laksa - $17 Rating: 7.5/10 You can choose between egg noodles, vermicelli, or flat rice noodles. We went with the egg noodles, which honestly tasted a lot like ramen noodles. The shrimp-based curry laksa broth was smooth and flavorful though, and the shrimp, fish cake, fried tofu, and marinated egg gave the dish nice variety and texture. Overall, the ambience was welcoming and the servers were friendly. There was one older server who I remember from our last visit as well -- she is honestly the sweetest, even though I forgot to get her name this time. If you're looking to explore different Asian flavors and try Malaysian-style dishes, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Happy Eats! read more

Came back here, and the food was delicious. It wasn't too crowded on Thursday around 6:30PM (only a few tables were occupied), so we were able to walk in and place our order fairly quickly. This time, I tried these items: Singapore Laksa - I actually loved this. Like curry noodles, good flavor, not too strong, totally enjoyable. (4.5/5) Hakka Mie - It was good. Simple and classic. Nothing too crazy, but tasty. (4/5) Cendol - A tasty dessert drink. Not too sweet, though the drink wasn't topped off. Still good. (4/5) Overall, Borneo always hits, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Always comforting. Parking - Super easy, as they have a multi-story lot out back. read more

Love love LOVEEE this place!! Not only was it affordable but the portions were adequate as well. We got the laksa, roti, & lemak. The laksa was flavorful, similar to curry (8/10). The lemak was AMAZING, the flavors paired well together, chicken was crispy, and loved the peanuts (9/10). Roti was flaky and crispy as well 8/10. Cute interior and nicely decorated. Would definitely come back again! read more

The food here was absolutely delicious! This was my first time trying this place and I want to try everything on the menu. We started off with Roti Prata for the appetizer, the Singapore Laksa & Indo Style as our entree, and Teh Tarik for our drink! The Roti Prata was amazing and I was already feeling slightly full after eating it. The serving sizes of our entrees were the perfect size and priced reasonably. The Teh Tarik was so yummy and reminded me a lot of Meet Fresh's Icy Grass Jelly. Inside, the restaurant is very nice and cosy. It can get busy, but if there ever is a wait, it is definitely worth it. I will definitely come back to Borneo Eatery! read more

I loved this place. It's cute, clean, and welcoming. Having just come back from Singapore, I really appreciated the photos of hawker centers on the walls--they felt authentic, not gimmicky. Our server was all smiles and genuinely helpful when we asked what to order. We went with the roti, chicken satay, and nasi campur, and everything was excellent. The standout for me was the chicken satay--this is often dry and chewy, but here it was moist and flavorful. Parking was easy, too. I found a free parking garage around the corner and later learned there's also parking in the back, which is a nice bonus. Definitely a place I'd happily return to. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place on Yelp yet, especially since I've been here so many times! Finally brought my husband here for his first visit. Of course, I had to order my go-to laksa--I've missed it so much. Flavor is still there, but portions have definitely gone down. Very little meat: only two pieces of fish cake, two pieces of char siu, and half an egg, which was disappointing given how much I used to love this dish. My mom ordered the beef stir-fry noodles, which were actually pretty good with that nice wok-hei flavor. Service was just okay--nothing memorable, but fine. The place has expanded since the last time I was here, which was nice to see. My husband ordered a rice plate and really enjoyed it, so that was a win. Love the decor with Singapore street-eats photos lining the walls--it adds character and fits the vibe. Overall, still a solid spot with nostalgic flavors, but the portion cut on the laksa definitely stood out. Hoping they bring it back to what it used to be. read more

I think i prefer the singapore laksa over all the other dishes as the curry is super flavorful. I also like the roti but it is pricey since its 9.50 for 2 pieces. The bakso was good but i realized the noodles didnt match with it. The small vermecilli tastes better when its stir fried. I couldnt really taste the broth unless i eat the noodle and soup separately. The hokkein mie is like indomie instant noodles but with a bunch of meat added on. They also have tea egg but its more on the sweater side. I wouldnt mind eating the tea egg by itself. The inside is cute. They have colored doors that reminds me of monsters inc. read more

Solid food, OK service, causal ambiance. Most things are slightly spicy. Parking in the back. Very similar to Thai food but with different names and some spice differences. The beef and chicken satay was very good. Both how it was cooked and flavor. The peanut sauce! So good! Their chicken was also pretty good, cooked well and moist but not as flavorful as satay. The egg was a little strange to me. Whatever the outer shell around it wasn't good. Pickled veggies are OK. Their drinks are also pretty interesting, I got something that reminded me of halo halo. I probably won't get it again. read more

Food 4/5 I've been going here for a few years now, and the food is good, but on my most recent visit, we found some kind of bug in the Pempek we ordered, so we just stopped eating and told our server.

Borneo in Alhambra was such a solid lunch spot. Came on a Sunday afternoon and had no wait, which already set the tone for a great experience. Parking is usually in the structure behind the restaurant, but we opted to park in the plaza across the street, which was super easy and convenient. The food came out surprisingly fast and was genuinely excellent! It had bold, comforting flavors, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and nothing felt rushed despite the quick turnaround. Service was warm, attentive, and efficient, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. Great food, great service, and an easy, stress-free visit, definitely a place worth coming back to. read more

This place was to die for! So authentic. We ordered the perfect amount of food for a party of five. We got here on a warm day and it was pretty busy but they turn around so quickly the wait was only 5 minutes with two parties ahead of us. Service was quick and helpful, with waters and drinks coming out right away. We ordered the Roti, pempek, indo mie, nasi campur, two laksa one with egg noodles and another with the flat rice noodles, and I got a sweet iced teh tarik. I would recommend every dish. From the savory sour sauce of the pempek, the nutty spiced sauce with the roti, and I didn't care how hot it was that laksa was comforting. It was all good. The restaurant was spacious and can fit a lot of people with lots of room. It's colorful clean and vibrant. Would love to come back! read more

Came on a rainy Monday and there wasn't a single guest inside.. We were skeptical but still decided to try it since we were there already and didn't want to go through the hassle of finding something else to eat. Food was decent but not amazing. We were served water right away. But the water was questionable, there was something settled at the bottom of one of our cups. Water was room temperature. Rendang -loved that the rice soaked up the curry and added most of the flavor. Fried tofu was a little dry in my opinion. Beef wasn't tender but wasn't dry.. it was alright. Nasi Campur -fried chicken was quite dry, few pieces that have chicken skin helped. Char siu was sliced really thin, might be better if they were slightly thicker. Chinese sausage was as expected. read more

This is one of those spots that I unfortunately don't remember often enough! A friend and I were going out to lunch and she suggested another place off Main street in Alhambra that is popular, but the food is kinda plain, so it made me think of Borneo as an alternative. Not much ambiance here, so it's good for a quick casual lunch. I decided to try the Soto which is listed on the menu under noodles soups but also says "no noodles". This dish being sort of uncategorizable plus it said fried chicken and tomatoes intrigued me so both of us ended up getting our own! The waitress seemed a bit confused like...most people get laksa, but we assured her we wanted to try this. We also ordered steamed white rice on the side and it is a generous serving of food. We both ended up bringing half of it home. (I originally suggested splitting but it was nice having it easy to eat the next morning!) it is nice and brothy with a light coconut flavor. Not spicy but very savory. I would definitely get this again! read more

absolutely. hearty meal with flavors that remind me of a home cooked meal. the service is very efficient and the food comes out relatively quick! love love love the thick noodles in the hakka mie. the chicken satay is super tender and arguably one of the best chicken dishes i've had ever! roti prata is never a miss either. yum. read more

Having recently returned from SE Asia, I was looking forward to trying this place during our SoCal trip. The public parking structure nearby was the best option as there was only a couple spots behind the restaurant. Inside were two seating areas and we got seated on the narrower right side which also led to the bathrooms. The menu was simple with noodles (soup and dry), rice plates, wok (served with noodles) and appetizers. The Singapore laksa was ok as I was looking for a lot more punch/spice and flavor from the soup. The beef rendang plate came with a huge variety of items including rice, fish, hard boiled egg, marinated potatoes. The rendang was on the small side and a little tough to chew. The noodles were our favorite dish with a nice mix of char siu, fish cake and balls over thin noodles. Flavors were good. Service was good throughout but most dishes just didn't hit the mark for us. read more

I've been here a few times and it's nice to see how successful they've become, enough to expand next door. That said, I do think the food quality dipped a bit compared to before, though it's still really good overall. Some dishes that were supposed to come in banana leaves didn't, which took away from the experience. Flavor-wise, most things were solid. The white gravy didn't work for me, but the roti was decent.

What We Ordered: -Chicken Satay Plate $15 -Roti Prata (S) $4.50 -Borneo w/Flat Rice Noodles $16.50 Pro Tip: Order the dish that shares the name of the restaurant. You can't go wrong! I had high hopes coming in especially with the great reviews. It was a mixed bag. We ordered the Chicken Satay and it was a tad bit too spicy and overcooked. I liked the peanut sauce, but it was also oily. This was a miss for our table. The Roti Prata was great! The curry dipping sauce was lovely! We used the leftover curry to smother over our white rice. Next time, we would order the large as that single pancake got gobbled up real quick. The Borneo with the Flat Rice Noodles was pretty good as well.

Absolutely amazing. One of the best noodle soup spots I've had in a while. Everything was bold, creamy, and packed with flavor. Roti Prata: Get Soft and flakey with just the right amount of crisp on the edges. The curry dip it comes with is rich and fragrant. Honestly could just snack on this all day. Singapore Laksa: GET This bowl was ridiculous. So creamy, spicy, and layered with flavor. Had shrimp, tofu, fish cake, corn, and all kinds of toppings. One of those dishes that makes you sit back for a second. It's that good. Service was fast and no frills. Menu is huge and has tons of options so I'm definitely coming back to try the rest.
